Reichhold Includes Unicode Support for ERP

Reichhold, the world's largest supplier of unsaturated polyester resins has upgraded its ERP software system. Reichhold's ERP upgrade included a conversion to support Unicode, an industry standard that provides the basis for processing, storage and interchange of text data in any language across software and IT platforms with minimal business process changes.
The Unicode conversion project was driven by the company's rapid growth in China, India and other parts of Asia. U.S.-based Reichhold has 18 manufacturing sites in 11 countries throughout the Americas, Asia and Europe.
The primary goal of the ERP upgrade was to minimize business disruption due to the upgrade effort, and provide Reichhold with a platform to leverage new capabilities. As a result, BearingPoint upgraded Reichhold's system based on the SAP ERP application and simultaneously converted the system to support Unicode.
Recently, Recon Oil Industries, a manufacturer and distributor of natural edible oil and food products, had also installed an ERP solution to solve similar issues that were hampering business growth. Recon had turned to Ebizframe, an ERP solution from Eastern Software Systems, to streamline its processes.
"The system upgrade and Unicode conversion progressed ahead of schedule and with less production system down-time than anticipated," said Roger Willis, CFO of Reichhold. "With no major issues during and after implementation, Reichhold is well-prepared with an up-to-date SAP solution-based platform for future growth and roll-outs in other countries around the world."
BearingPoint's global development centers carried out the technical and functional tests of the upgraded SAP solution-based system.
